No more TTon4 onthe Costa Blanca?

Are you asking where has TTon4 gone? Has your TTon4 Channel 4 disappeared! Are you missing your TTon4 Channel 4 programmes!

Unfortunately, from the 13th January 2010, the Channel Four test channel TTon4 is no longer available to viewers in the Costa Blanca Spain area.

TTon4 was used by many to view Channel 4 without a Sky viewing card, and best of all, it could also be viewed on a small satellite dish, where are the normal Channel 4 channels required a big 1.8 or 2.4m satellite dish, or a Sky viewing card.

If you have a new white Sky viewing card, then all is not lost. You should still be able to watch Channel 4, by using th other version on the same frequency. These versions are the Irish versions of Channel 4, so not all programmes will be exactly scheduled as the UK version of Channel 4.

You can add these Irish Sky viewing card versions of Channel 4 to yur Sky box as follows:
Press Services
Press 4
Press 4
Type in the Channel 4 frequency of 12480, polarisation V, Symbol Rate 27.5 and and FEC of 2/3.
Press Find Channels
This should bring up a list of channels on this frequency.
Navigate to the first "Channel 4", and press the YELLOW button.
This places a tick next to the channel.
Press Select and you will see the Channel List updated.
Press Select.
Pres the Sky button.

To view this added channel Press Services, and navigate to your "other channels" list and select "Channel 4" from the list.
